Well I just drove home with my new Vanagon! It rolled to 55,000 as I pulled in my driveway. 

The first problem I see is that we have to take out the #2 fuse because the break lights stay on if not.

There also is a noise coming from the transaxle. It only makes the noise when there is pressure against the gears, i.e. acceleration.

Thanks for any input. And a big thanks to developtrust for all the great info. I'm making a check list.
